Introduction
Since the dawn of time when we swung clubs to bring home the Brontosaurus burgers, to the middle ages when a man was judged by the size of his sword (things havent changed all that much, eh?) to present day where CEOs fire sniveling pipsqueeks from the big chair in the boardroom, youll find ONE COMMON THREAD that binds all of these barbariansa seething flow of male hormones and in particular TESTOSTERONE! But although the powerful potion that makes men men is a key ingredient for the bold, aggressive characteristics necessary for rescuing damsels in distress and controlling 4th quarter financial results, it plays a MUCH more important role in the average Joes quest to conquer his OWN little piece of the world...his body! Most likely, you downloaded this ebook in search of the MASTER KEY to packing on slabs and slabs of ROCK HARD MUSCLE. But while you MAY be familiar with the powerful benefits elevated testosterone levels have on your ability to build muscle (like we needed any MORE reasons!), ensuring adequate amounts of testosterone (I may refer to it as just plain T throughout this book) in your body has many OTHER benefits as well. Heres a short list of LIFE-CHANGING IMPROVEMENTS you can hope to see from following the innovative tips covered in this book: Body Composition Enhancements Sexual Enhancements Overall Health Enhancements Increased energy levels Increased exercise endurance Increased desire for exercise Improved mood and cognitive focus Decreased levels of bad cholesterol and increased levels of good cholesterol
Increased muscle size Increased sex drive Increased muscle strength Decreased fat tissue Stronger erections Increased sexual endurance

Introduction
No matterRegardless of WHAT benefits youre looking for, youve come to the most comprehensive source available for learning how you can NATURALLY drive your bodys T levels THROUGH THE ROOF!
Now the benefits from heightened testosterone levels ARENT any secret to the muscular MUTANTS you see on the front covers of bodybuilding mags everywhere or to the greedy supplement companies pumping out virtual Viagra by the truckload. Professional bodybuilders pump MASSIVE amounts of anabolic steroids through their veins to ARTIFICIALLY raise testosterone levels. And I dont see ONE SINGLE DAY go by where I dont get 10-15 spam email ads for herbal testosterone enhancers or natural Viagra elixirs. But resorting to harmful chemicals ISNT necessary if you know the secrets to NATURALLY boosting your own testosterone supply chain. AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT WERE HERE TO DO! However, while RAISING T-levels in your body should be the main ingredient in your quest to be the manliest man you can be, theres ANOTHER factor which absolutely MUST be considered if you ever hope to be successful... If youve read my book OPTIMUM ANABOLICS (www.OptimumAnabolics.com), then you know how EFFICIENT the body is at adapting to the changes we like to throw at it in order to maintain a state of BALANCE. Many bodybuilders are well aware of this factor from the PLATEAUS they may hit during their workout cycles when their body actually SLOWS DOWN or simply STOPS growing new muscle due to overtraining. Since it takes more energy for the body to maintain MUSCLE than it does to maintain FAT stores, it will actually try to LIMIT the amount of muscle you can build so it doesnt have to expend so much effort.
Page 6 of 38
Introduction
Well, this same factor of balance that the body is trying to create applies to your attempts to raise testosterone levels as well. You see, you ALSO have a small supply of the FEMALE hormone ESTROGEN running through your veins! A Word From The Muscle Nerd Whoa! Dont get all defensive there, Sparky! Estrogen is actually a NECESSARY hormone for men and DOES have its fair share of BENEFITS You know...like making us want to talk about our feelings and cuddle with the Mrs. In front of a warm fire. But read on to see how to remain in control of just how MUCH estrogen is floating around in your body
When your body starts reading that your testosterone tank is getting a little TOO FULL, it makes a phone call to your estrogen outlet with orders to begin producing MORE of the female hormone to balance out your T-levels. In effect, the message that gets back to the employees of the testosterone factory is: BREAK TIME! This is supply and demand at its most efficient! So you see, part of your battle is also finding ways to SUPRESS the estrogen reaction in your body to allow the POSITIVE benefits of INCREASED TESTOSTERONE LEVELS to do their work. Again, professional bodybuilders are WELL aware of this estrogen reaction and are forced to take a whole OTHER set of drugs just to avoid the FEMININE features their body will begin to take on with the natural rise in estrogen. However, its the wannabe pros who begin taking steroids WITHOUT the proper knowledge (or doctors oversight) that pay the heaviest price. Nearly ALL of them begin to take on female characteristics in a short time, the most notable side effect being GYNOCASTAMIA, or female-like breasts commonly referred to as BITCH TITS because they more resemble the breasts on a female dog. BUT WAITTHERES EVEN MORE! Just when you thought these were the ONLY problems steroids posed, theres an even BIGGER challenge users need to be concerned with when it comes to testosterone production. You see, with all that SYNTHETIC juice coursing

Introduction
through their veins, the body realizes that it really doesnt need to manufacture any of its OWN testosterone any more. Your NATURAL ability to produce this hormone is all but SHUT DOWN ENTIRELY! This is VERY BAD NEWS for when you come off the juice and cant figure out why your wee-wee doesnt have the punch it USED to. Youve actually built up a DEPENDENCE upon artificial testosterone production and your balls will shrivel up like two tiny raisins from lack of use! A Word From The Muscle Nerd
Now guys, I know you want a huge chest to sport around the
beach and youll need to fill out your leopard-skin thong as much as possible. But you shouldnt need to wear a bra to keep your pecs supported or stuff your marble bag bathing suit with a sock! Lay off the juice unless you plan on making a play for Mr. Olympia and have a doctors guidance. What YOU are looking for is to provide your body with the support necessary to produce its OWN T-Levels SAFELY and NATURALLY. And now for the good news
As users of my mass building programs have found, steroid-like growth IS possibleIF you know the specific program for skyrocketing your bodys OWN natural hormone levels through the roof! But those of you who are familiar with my writing know that if its ONE THING I hate, its an UNEDUCATED BODYBUILDER who heads off to the gym without a clue as to how or why the program hes using is supposed to work, or worse yet, gives advice to OTHERS without knowing what the hell hes talking about in the first place. The iron sweatboxes are full enough of these knucklehead consultants as it is, so before we get started on the TIPS and TRICKS that will allow you to RADICALLY increase your own natural testosterone levels, lets make sure you fully understand HOW the body works to produce hormones in your body before we move on

Testosterone Manufacturing
Step 1 The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland at the base of your brain releases Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
LH
DHEA
Step 2 The adrenal glands secrete Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) into the bloodstream.
Step 4 Testosterone (T), along with other factors such as exercise, nutrients, and other anabolic hormones, builds muscle and burns fat cells.
Step 3 Luteinizing Hormone and DHEA travel to the testes where these and the other Unleashed factors work together to produce Testosterone (T).

Testosterone Manufacturing
As you can see from the previous diagram, all roads lead SOUTH, directly to your bodys main testosterone production plant the TESTES. But just like a real manufacturing facility, the assembly line needs RAW MATERIALS and PROPER SUPPORT in order to create the finished product. For a REAL manufacturing facility, this could translate to metals, plastics, nuts and bolts, paper products, and other raw materials, as well as employee factors such as the right amount of assembly line workers working the right amount of hours and taking enough breaks to remain at OPTIMUM production levels. For YOUR testosterone manufacturing facility (your body), you need similar support, such as the correct RAW MATERIALS (nutrients), PROPER EXERCISE and REST PERIODS, SECONDARY HORMONE SUPPORT, etc.. But lets not forget that you DO have other factors working AGAINST you in the process. YesESTROGEN production, as identified earlier, IS one of your biggest enemies, but there are a few OTHER factors at play here as well. Your body has a natural DAILY FLUCTUATION of behavioral and physiological functions that go up and down as the day progresses over generally a 24 hour cycle. This is generally known as your CIRCADIAN RHYTHM and throughout this daily cycle, your testosterone levels spike and plummet accordingly.

The chart below demonstrates a general example of how your T-levels fluctuate during a 24-hour period:
As you can see from the diagram, your PEAK testosterone levels occur in the EARLY MORNING right before waking up and getting out of bed. A Word From The Muscle Nerd
This would explain why you wake up looking at what appears to be a replica of the TAJ MAHAL under your bed sheets!
However, these levels DROP by as much as a whopping 50% during the course of the day!

Testosterone Manufacturing
When it comes to testosterone levels over the course of our LIVES, it becomes much more predictable however. As you can see in the chart below, when were in our 20s through our 30s, the wind from a butterflys wings in China could cause a tremor in your shorts.
However, as youll notice, T-production steadily DECREASES from about the age of 40 on, at a rate of about 1 PERCENT PER YEAR. Thats BAD NEWS if you were looking to marry a 20-year old centerfold model on your 80th birthday! To make matters even worse, while TESTOSTERONE levels DECREASE with age, ESTROGEN levels appear to generally REMAIN THE SAME, thereby tipping the scale in favor of SAGGY MAN-BOOBS in our later years!

Exercise Considerations
your weight training program should be made up of COMPOUND, MULTI-JOINT EXERCISES. In fact, with LEGS being the largest muscle group in the body, the BARBELL SQUAT has been hailed as THE most effective exercise EVER for stimulating testosterone production. And that testosterone doesnt just benefit your legsit benefits all of your OTHER muscles as well. A Word From The Muscle Nerd
Who would have thought that exercising your LEGS would ALSO help you pack muscle on your chest and biceps? But this is EXACTLY what happens!
So remember this the next time you have a hard time getting out of bed and off to the gym because its the dreaded LEG DAY in your workout program.
Rememberstick to COMPOUND EXERCISES to target as many muscle fibers as possible and youll see a greater response in overall testosterone production. But now, lets head to the epicenter of where testosterone is produced for ANOTHER great tip for increasing production levels

Effects Of Stress
Sonot only to keep you from getting to the point where youre putting holes in the drywall with your fist, but to also MAXIMIZE your bodys ability to SUPPRESS cortisol and ELEVATE T-levels, you have to find ways to reduce the stress in your life. Fortunately its relatively easy to take some very SIMPLE STEPS to accomplish this goal. But the way you do it will have to be personally customized to what YOU find relaxing. On the following page are some suggestions for going from a teeth-gritting time bomb to a flower pushing Hare Krishna in no time

Chapter 3
Exercise Regularly
Effects Of Stress
Okthis one may seem a little obvious. But since regular exercise releases powerful endorphins into your bloodstream which relieve stress while additionally increasing testosterone, you get a double whammy benefit here! Give Captain Jolly A Regular Workout Too Regular sexual activity and orgasm initiates the secretion of the hormone oxytocin, which causes the release of natural endorphins (mood stabilizing chemicals) into the bloodstream. In fact, oxytocin levels spike 3-5 TIMES HIGHER than usual just before orgasm! The natural endorphins released as a result have a natural drug-like effect on the body causing profound relaxation and deeper sleep. Take Time Out For Yourself By actually scheduling time to spend with friends, focus on a hobby, let off a little steam or whatever else allows you to do for YOU, you actually come out of it a lot more balanced and able to provide even more for those who depend on you. You have to take care of YOU first in order to give more to OTHERS! Take Short Breaks During The Day Even just 5 minutes alone with your eyes shut or a short walk around the block periodically throughout the day can give your brain a much needed opportunity to rebound from the momentum of a stressful day. Youll come back to your work energized, refreshed, and yeseven more productive! Breathe Like A Yogi Heres a quick and effective breathing technique I learned from a yoga instructor that is GUARANTEED to give you INSTANT RELIEF from stress 1. Close your right nostril with your right thumb (please try to avoid actually sticking it in your nose, ok?) while breathing in through your left nostril for a slow 15-second count until your lungs are completely filled. (Count internally while you do thisnot out loud.) 2. Hold your breath for just a second then close your left nostril with your right index finger while breathing out through your right nostril for another slow 15second count until the air is completely out of your lungs. 3. Repeat for a total of 5-10 CYCLES for a deeply relaxing stress-reliever!

Body Composition
A couple of pounds here and there wont have all that much effect on your hormones. But if youre at least 30 PERCENT over your ideal bodyweight, you MAY be looking at a future investment in a D-cup bra. The good news is that as you start stoking up the old fat-furnace, youll give your testosterone levels a good kick start which will in turn give you a helping hand toward losing that extra flab. The LOWER your bodyfatthe LOWER your estrogen levelsthe HIGHER your testosteronethe MORE muscle is builtthe MORE fat is burned. Are you starting to see the relationship here?! A Word From The Muscle Nerd Well, heres ANOTHER powerful chain of events that will help you reach your goal Since MUSCLE TISSUE requires MORE calories to build and maintain than FAT TISSUE does, the more muscle you have, the more calories youll burn. In fact, gaining just 1 EXTRA POUND of muscle burns an additional 50 CALORIES throughout the day. Gain more muscle...lose more fatincrease

Body Composition
testosteronebuilding more muscle! You, gotta LOVE it, eh?
One of the keys to making this entire process work for you is to take it very SLOW with your fat loss program. FORGET all the quick-fix diets that promise rapid results. These diets often focus on LARGE calorie restrictions that actually have an ADVERSE EFFECT on burning fat in the long run. You see, when you drop your calories TOO low, you actually signal your body that youre STARVING. When this happens, your body goes on the DEFENSIVE by effectively shutting down as many biological processes as possible to CONSERVE ENERGY in the face of a caloric fuel shortage. Since your body DOESNT want you doing the horizontal mambo with your significant other when its trying to take it easy, it SHUTS DOWN production of testosterone just so you dont get any bright ideas about having sex. You can bypass this obstacle, effectively blocking your bodys evil attempts to shut down the T-factory and keep you from scoring, by reducing your daily caloric intake by NO MORE THAN 15% - 25%. This will ensure a LONG, SLOW fat burn thats EASILY SUSTAINED and supports your optimum hormone levels.
Page 19 of 38
Chapter 5
This may seem like a slap in the face of traditional dieting concepts, but the truth is that eating fat DOESNT make you fatunless youre eating too many calories to begin with!
But were not talking about just ANY type of fat, so please STEP AWAY FROM THE BACON! While you should focus mainly on GOOD FATS such as poly-unsaturated Omega 3s and Omega 6s, theres ONE TYPE of fat that has out-distanced itself from the rest of the competition on the testosterone playing field. And the winner is MONOUNSATURATED FAT!
2009 CQC International, LLC All Rights Reserved. International Copyright Page 20 of 38
Chapter 5
Scientific research has shown that more than any other fat source, monounsaturated fats have the most DIRECT EFFECT on the testes and testosterone production. To ensure your body has the right amount of fat to maximize testosterone output, make sure that you take in about 30 PERCENT of your total daily calories in the form of good fats, and preferably the MONOUNSATURATED type. A Word From The Muscle Nerd
In the OPTIMUM ANABOLICS program, I structure a 40% protein, 30% carbs, and 30% fat calorie split, specifically designed to build muscle, burn fat and GREATLY increase testosterone levels!
On the following page are some examples of healthy MONOUNSATURATED FATS and some ideas for incorporating them into your current diet

Fat Source: Avocados How to add to diet: Great addition to sandwiches; chop over Mexican food; mix with diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, cilantro, and salt for guacamole served with chips Fat Source: Olive Oil How to add to diet: Pour into a dish with cracked black pepper then dip whole grain bread into it while serving cheese and kalamata olives; toss into any pasta dish along with fresh basil and tomatoes; pour into protein smoothies for a nuttier flavor; pour a Tbsp. into oatmeal for creamier texture Fat Source: Canola Oil How to add to diet: Use for everyday cooking; pour into protein drinks to make creamier yet yield no additional flavor change Fat Source: Nuts (Any kind) How to add to diet: A great snack between meals; toss some walnuts into a salad with balsamic vinegar and crumbled feta cheese; add 2 Tbsp. of peanut butter to 12 oz. of skim milk, one frozen banana, a cup of raw oat bran, and a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a delicious breakfast smoothie Fat Source: Flaxseed Oil How to add to diet: Pour into protein smoothies and oatmeal for creamy, nutty flavor; toss into salad with nuts and feta cheese

Effects of Alcohol
Dont you wish someone had told you THAT before prom night?!
The solution to this is simply OBVIOUS...NO BINGE DRINKING! Unless youre pledging to your college fraternity and need a keg-induced pain killer prior to taking that long trip on your knees through the Phi Beta Kappa spanking machine initiation, you should stop at 3 DRINKS and space them out over as MUCH time as possible.

Indole-3-Carbinol
One study showed that 500 milligrams of I3C a day actually CUT estrogen levels in HALF!
2 SERVINGS a day of any of the following list of vegetables will provide you with sufficient amounts of I3C to do the trick:
Chapter 8
Now you know why the Tyrannosaurus Rex was KING of the Jurassic jungle! His insatiable lust for red meat made him a force to recon with!
You see, although often used as a PROTEIN SOURCE in vegetarian diets, soy isnt as bio-available as meat sources which means your body doesnt get as much valuable protein to work with in its muscle-building efforts as those of us carnivores. If you have a choice for your protein sourceopt for whey, fish, poultry, and lean cuts of beef over meats loaded in saturated fats such as fatty red meats, pork and lamb. This will ALSO give you more room in your diet to add the MONOUNSATURATED FATS that will give you an extra boost for optimal Tproduction as discussed in Chapter 5.

Virtual Fighting
Pick a Fight!
When we were cavemen, supernatural levels of testosterone gave us TWO THINGSa forehead you could perch a small boulder on, and the DRIVE to go out and kill our next meal. So it stands to reason that getting in touch with our primitive instinct to rub someone out will in turn send a signal to the pituitary gland in the brain to initiate the necessary surge in TESTOSTERONE to make it happen. You can do this a number of waysNONE of which actually require you go out and corner your neighbor in his driveway and use him as a punching bag! My FAVORITE way to tap into my killer instinct is a combination of three 1-minute rounds on a heavy PUNCHING BAG along with another 3 minutes of VIRTUAL FULL-CONTACT FIGHTING. What IS virtual full-contact fighting? This is a trick I learned from a PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER who used to train for those brutal, no-holds-barred cage matches you see in Ultimate Fighting Championship and Pride tournaments where its just two men in a ring (or cage) and they beat the hell out of each otherno gloves and VERY few rules! Full contact fighters use the power of their MIND to tap into the aggressive instinct they need to annihilate their enemy. You see, while at their training center, they pretend theyre in the ring and actually VISUALIZE their opponent in front of them while using all of the dirty tricks they have in their bag. They use their knees, elbows, fists, head buttsANYTHING at their disposal, to inflict as much DAMAGE as possible on their enemy. So heres how YOU can use this same type of training to unleash new levels of anabolic hormones without finding yourself doing time in the local prison fending off prospective boyfriends in the showers
Step 1
Find a location in your house or other private space away from the breakables, and private enough so others dont see you and wonder if youve finally lost your mind. A full length mirror is a great addition as it helps you visualize your enemy.
Page 26 of 38
Chapter 9
Virtual Fighting
Imagine, as clearly as you can, a scene that would force you to have to rip someones head off. This may take the form of someone who jumps out in front of you from a dark alley with a baseball batmaybe its a group of bikers whove decided to corner your wife or girlfriend (mother?) in a baror maybe the guy in the cubicle next to yours wont stop humming show tuneswhatever! The clearer you can make this image, the more adrenalin youll start to feel course through your body. And rememberyour adrenal glands help supply DHEA to the testes for testosterone production.
Step 2
Step 3
Start to take short, aggressive breaths through your nose and then Tapping into all that built up aggression, TEAR APART that virtual enemy or enemies in front of you! Hit him with elbows, drive your knee into his head, kick him in the groin, gouge his eyes out with your thumbs, head butt him, and punch to your hearts content...WHATEVER! Really dig into your natural instincts to defend yourself or loved ones and take this guy apart! The secret is to really FEEL the adrenaline rush that naturally comes with this level of intensity. Do this 3 times for only about 1 minute each time and youve sufficiently generated enough stimulation to create a shortterm testosterone surge in your body with lasting effects. A Word From The Muscle Nerd Remember, testosterone is a supply-and-demand hormone and your MIND is a very powerful ally in your battle to CREATE that demand. Clearly visualizing the AFTER EFFECTS of high testosterone levels (battling the enemy, great sex, etc.) allows the body to generate the hormones it naturally associates with these activities. Strange...but TRUE!

Workout Considerations
Go HEAVYor Go Home!
Hunkering down in your cubicle all day long lifting that pencil 1,000 times will have as much chance at raising your T-levels as you have at impressing that brunette at the bar with your belching skills. To get maximum testosterone output from your land down under and watch your muscles balloon like a cartoon, youll need to give your body a good enough REASON to work harderand that means lifting MUCH heavier weights than the girls over in the aerobics class. In fact, one study suggests that you need to lift between 70% - 80% of the maximum amount of weight you can lift for ONE REPETITION to get the GREATEST boost in testosterone levels. Havent yet dared to risk a barbell crashing down on your chest to determine your 1-rep max? Dont worry! Theres a SIMPLE way to help you figure it out without having to update your will. Heres what to do 1. Use the chart on the following page to determine your 1-REP MAX by looking up the WEIGHT you normally lift for your compound exercises (bench press, squats, pull downs, etc.) on the LEFT SIDE, while looking across the TOP for the number of REPS youre normally able to perform until youve reached muscular failure (without assistance) for that exercise. 2. Run your finger across the page and find where these two numbers intersect and youll have your ESTIMATED 1-REP MAX! 3. After youve determined your 1-rep max, multiply this number by .7 and .85 to find your working weight range of 70% - 85%. 4. Perform a minimum of 3 SETS OF EACH EXERCISE, taking at least a 1 MINUTE REST in between to allow your body to regain enough strength for the next set.

Meal Timing
6 Squares a Day?
In order for construction workers to continue building a house, they need an endless supply of nails. If they run out of nails, they end up hanging around the Volvo talking to your 16-year old daughter while waiting for more supplies! Same goes for your body. In order to continue to crank out a steady flow of TESTOSTERONE, your body is going to need a steady flow of NUTRIENTS. Going for long periods of time without a meal will shut off the supply line that ensures raw materials are available to be turned into testosterone. For this kind of production, your regular 3 meals a day just arent going to cut it. To keep the assembly line active youre going to need to split your meals up throughout the day over 5-6 SEPARATE, SMALLER MEALS. This has other benefits as well. By eating several smaller meals throughout the day, you keep your bodys METABOLISM in high gear, effectively using more calories in the process and stoking up the fat furnace for a continuous burn. A Word From The Muscle Nerd
If I remember correctly, less fat equals better absand MORE TESTOSTERONE! Are you starting to see the compounding effect of all these factors yet?!
In addition, for those looking to put on MUSCLE, you need to take in a LOT more calories than the average couch potato AND you need a ready supply of protein for muscle repair. This is difficult to do when you try stuffing yourself over 3 gigantic meals. You end up throwing your body into overload and its unable to effectively process all of the nutrients youre trying to extract. Stick to SMALLER, MORE FREQUENT MEALS and keep the nutrient supply line to your testes going full throttle!

Rest Considerations
Of course the biggest factor in being able to adequately repair your body for growth is to make sure you get adequate amounts of SLEEP each and every night. Yet an estimated 82% of us dont get enough sleep to allow our bodies to fully recover and take on a new day.

Rest Considerations
Here are some tips on how YOU can give yourself the best odds for a good night of shut-eye: SCHEDULE your sleep time each night. Get to bed at the SAME TIME each night and set your alarm for the SAME TIME each morning EVEN on your days off. (Maintaining a consistent sleep cycle helps to program your bodys circadian rhythm and facilitate sleep when YOU say its time.) Make your bedroom a TEMPLE for sleep. Avoid WORKING, WATCHING TV, or EATING in bed.
(If your brain associates your bed as a time for activities that require alertness, it may have trouble making the switch when you suddenly decide the bed is also for sleep.) DONT EXERCISE within 3 HOURS of going to bed. (Exercise increases the bodys hormones that case alertnessthe last thing you want when you are ready to catch some Zs.) DONT eat LARGE MEALS within 3 HOURS of going to bed. (Your bodys digestive process needs a break also. If you eat a large meal before bed, when youre bodys metabolism slows down, it may pay you back with indigestion and wake you up to tell you about it.) Avoid CAFFEINE, especially within 4-5 HOURS of going to bed. (It normally takes about 2-3 hours for caffeine to leave your body. Give yourself plenty of time to make sure this drug isnt lingering around to mess with your sleep schedule.) DONT drink ALCOHOL within 3 HOURS of going to bed. (Alcohol may be a depressant, but it DOESNT help you sleep! On the contrary, it prevents you from achieving the deep sleep necessary for proper recovery.) Burn a LAVENDER or VANILLA aromatherapy candle. (Studies have shown that the scent of lavender and vanilla have a calming effect on the body that helps promote deep relaxation and uninterrupted sleep. Burn a scented candle in your bedroom for just ONE MINUTE before going to bed, and then extinguish it. The scent will linger for long after and help you sleep soundly.)

I mean, with a name like Horny Goat Weed, it HAS to make you
hornier than a GOAT, right?! (By the wayIm NOT a GOAT FARMER so I cant verify whether being hornier than a goat will get you anywhere anyway!)
Actually, a bit of SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE (mixed with a healthy dose of COMMON SENSE of course) should provide some insight into whether its truly worth it to spend your money on the latest herbal testosterone enhancer. First a little COMMON SENSE As soon as the next recipe for a magic sexual enhancement potion is discovered in some ancient text buried in the tomb of King Gluteus Maximus, you can be sure that every guy with a basement laboratory will be spending every last dime of their scrawny savings to advertise their breakthrough snake oil. And since THIS is how every muscle mag makes their money, there will be no shortage of adsbelieve me! But all you have to do is compare any year-old bodybuilding magazine with a current one and youll find about 90% of the supplements claiming to revolutionize the bodybuilding industry have withered up and disappeared.

Why? Because THEY DONT WORK! A Word From The Muscle Nerd
Supplements
Its one of the DARK, DIRTY SECRETS of the bodybuilding industry! All it takes is a colorful label, intriguing name (how aboutTestroBlast?!), and a hard-hitting full page sales ad complete with muscle bound mutants holding up a bottle of magic potion to lure a hefty percentage of red-blooded males into digging deep into their pockets for the promise of overnight mass! Dont become a VICTIM of B.S. marketing techniques pushed by STEROID-USING PROS!!! Youll save a TON of money!
Hey, I realize that everyone has to make a living, and unless youre WINNING major bodybuilding events, its difficult to pay that massive STEROID BILL professional bodybuilders are chained to each month. But I have a HUGE PROBLEM when someone injects themselves with any of a number of anabolic compounds geared toward ARTIFICIAL muscle growth in the morning, and THEN makes their way to a photo shoot where theyre holding up a WORTHLESS bottle of herbal powder claiming its the BEST THING theyve EVER used for building lean muscle mass! Can you REALLY trust the word of someone who gets their muscle from a SYRINGE? Do they work hard in the gym? Absolutely! Just DONT try to convince me that creatine and shark cartilage is what built your body! Like I said, everyone has to pay the bills, right? But they DONT have to pay the bills by getting ME to shovel over my hardearned money when the scientific evidence (and personal experience) has revealed them to be the frauds they truly are. And speaking of SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCElets apply some to the testosterone boosting supplement theory, shall we?

A Word From The Muscle Nerd Now heres where things REALLY get interesting! No matter what youve seen in the way of footnote medical references, the questionable results of some first year biology students experiment on a mouse CANT stack up to the DECADES of modern nutritional research that back the TRUTH behind how the body reacts to outside forces. Heres the real deal
The body has become VERY efficient at PROTECTING itself from what it considers to be harmful toxins that could disrupt the delicate balance it likes to maintain, and therefore has built up several DEFENSE MECHANISMS to keep out any unwanted elements. This process begins with the MOUTH and includes every organ in between there and the toilet bowl. For example, if youve ever mistakenly drank some milk way past its expiration date, you no doubt have felt the bodys quick response of gagging and hurling the contaminated food all over the kitchen wall. The stomach doesnt want it, and will let you know LOUD and CLEAR. Of course this is a very simplified example. But it shows you just how well the body plans on protecting itself. Now, lets move even DEEPER into the bodys defensive structure and see how much it likes you messing around with its HORMONE SYSTEM First of all, in order for testosterone boosting supplements to be effective in the body, they must pass through the LIVER after being digested in the stomach. Now the liver has a pretty important mission in the body. You see, its HIS job to protect you by FILTERING OUT harmful toxins from the nutrients you ingest. For this reason, nearly all oral testosterone enhancers never even REACH their final destination into your bloodstream where they could have an opportunity to carry out the advertised effect on hormone levels. In fact, Androstenedione, the active ingredient in the now-banned testosterone boosting pro-hormones, was once touted to be the Holy Grail of mass building

supplements...even though NUMEROUS studies showed it to have NO IMPACT on testosterone levels! Thats rightNO IMPACT! A Word From The Muscle Nerd
See? I told you this was the chapter that gets me in a LOT of trouble! Andro made a LOT of people a LOT of money, but the research just doesnt support the claims by the ads you saw!
Now, on to one of the MAIN DEFENSE MECHANISMS the body uses to regulate your testosterone levels Remember STEP 1 in the testosterone production cycle from the first chapter? The PITUITARY GLAND holds the master controls to regulating ALL of your bodys hormonesincluding TESTOSTERONE. Hanging isolated in the middle of your brain, you can bet that the body will do EVERYTHING it possibly can to keep any harm from coming to this PEA-SIZED delicate little dynamo! For this reason, there are very few outside substances that EVER have a snowballs chance in hell of getting close to forcing it to open up the floodgates on the testosterone supply line. It is NOT easily bulliedand as youve now learned, you CANT simply pop a few magic pills and expect ANY EFFECTS AT ALL! Therefore the ONLY WAY to stimulate the pituitary gland to generously slather your body with muscle building hormones is to reach it INDIRECTLY by using the bodys own NATURAL triggering mechanisms to do your dirty work. Within this book youve discovered several methods for achieving this, but could there be an even BETTER technique that can put you on the FAST TRACK to MASSIVE MUSCLE GROWTH? Alasthere IS! And the answer is even CLOSER than you realize...
